PS3 CFW Folder Checker Homebrew App and Source Code Arrive

This weekend PlayStation 3 developer PsDev has released a homebrew application called PS3 CFW Folder Checker along with the source code as well, followed by Check_PKG and HashCalc by eminem451 with details below.

From the included ReadMe file: Just place the .exe file in your flash drive where you have your folders and cfw setup run it and it will tell you if there is a typo, the foldername correct, the pup name correct and then if so it tell you your ready to go.

check_pkg_dbgc: same as check_pkg_dbg but PAUSES after any errors when checking directory and has a progress bar, better of the 3 releases for common user.

Check_pkg_dbgc is recommended for common user. Use this after downloading a PKG to be sure it is not corrupted.

Update: I updated my software, it now handles debug PKG better, and can check ECDSA signature from retails one.

HashCalc

Hi, I made a little app (linked above) to calculate hash from files. i limited it to a few algo for this edition, let me know what you think of it.

Info: Drag and drop file on it will save time.

If you are on win8.1, right click on hashcalc.exe, unlock.

This app handle mode than 200 hashing algos; i locked it for this edition (SHA3, MD6, BLAKE...), making it easier for everyone.

With this app, you can compute MD5 or SHA1 of any files, it may help you checking PUP's MD5 for example.

HMAC is available on full version, tell me if you need it.

Info: Not all algos are listed alphabetically, it's normal, i sort them myself, sometimes alphabetically and sometimes by genre, there is no problems with it.

On 21/12/2014, removed French version, removed X64 Version, this way, there only is one version. A few bug fixed.

Version 1.1.3: Unlocked PS Debug PKG Hash, there are many hashes in debug PKGs, first one is stored at offset 0x80, use my app with this algo and set size to 0x80, check then hash in file at offset 0x80, if it matches, PKG is OK, else it wasnt built correctly or was altered.

I noted that, debug PKG made by proper tools (SDK ones) have good hashes, a few others, i think made by that ugly python script dont. Any PKG made by make_pkg_npdrm (official) has these hashes correct.

I really can't believe on what RealPsDev wasting they his time (even if it is 5min lol), pointless app that we don't need and now someone will say *you should be grateful* and i am but not with something like this.

He even posted thread on how to dump LV0 but of course, others have to do it but no Dev who thinks he knows how.. basically same as math's walkthrough.
